![]() This doesn’t mean you won’t find video inputs. But the Cinema 12 is sold as an audiocentric component that eschews video processing. Audio purists will appreciate the fact that you can bypass all digital conversions for your analog sources, including the 7.1 analog input you might use with an SACD player.Ĭary sells a separate, extensive video processor, the Cinema 11v, so the company’s not uncomfortable whipping, chopping, and pureeing your video signal. The Cinema 12 even offers a pair of stereo analog XLR inputs and a single balanced digital input beyond the roster of seven single-ended analog input pairs. The Cinema 12 offers both single-ended RCA and true, differentially balanced XLR outputs, an arrangement and circuit design mirrored on the Model 7.125 amplifier. Time spent in my fledgling home studio has taught me why pros prefer them. They exude an air of quality and reliability that physically and musically justify their significant price.Ĭall me weird, but I get excited when I see XLR connectors on my audio gear. Something must have shook loose during transit, because instead of music, all I got when I powered them up was a wisp of smoke as one monoblock sadly committed hara-kiri! The Cary Cinema 12 and Model 7.125 are an eternity of light years away from those fragile forays into bottle socketry. Over a decade ago, while writing for a now-defunct audio magazine, my editor shipped me a pair of monoblock Cary tube amps he’d never gotten around to reviewing. Fortunately, there are open source libraries out there for a variety of languages that make it easy to record input and other libraries/packages to stream.Price: $8,990 At A Glance: Excellent detail and resolution If unlucky then you will have to try and use two pieces of software working together but really, this is where you would have to think about writing your own.If you get lucky there might find a complete, off-the-shelf and free/open source solution that can record and stream the recording in near-real-time The recording software depends on your platform.If not then you need a sound card with a line-in or a USB solution (If you really need to use RPi then a USB to line-in adapter would be needed. Depending on the sound card and its driver software in the computer you may be able to use the microphone jack.Here is a 3.5 mm to 3.5 mm version (see next note) The radio can really be ANY kind of radio as long as it has a line-out (or headphone jack).That said I'm coming from a fairly high-level view that could be used on a variety of platforms e.g.NET on Windows, Java on Linux and perhaps Mono on RPi? Only RPi is mentioned as a specific technology (besides Radio Shark). You did not specify a programming language or framework.> computer with line-in or microphone (or USB) running > 3.5mm Line Out Cable (could be 3.5mm to USB) connected to Your choice of applications or APIs to drive the recording and streaming also becomes much more limited because the platform is limited, especially where drivers are concerned.īut regardless of platform/OS this is your simplest hardware & server architecture: Raspberry Pi is another complication because it does not have a microphone jack. ![]() Even if it was in production it is unique and proprietary, facts that tightly couple your solution to particular hardware. This means that it wouldn't be a good idea to base a solution around Radio Shark. According to Amazon the Radio Shark is no longer being manufactured and is only sold by 3rd parties who still have it in their inventory.
